Most of the superstitions about the
moon come to us directly from old Eng
lish, Scottish and Irish sources. In Dew
onshire England, it is lucky to see the
new moon over the right shoulder, but
unlucky over the left; but to sec it
straight before is good fortune to the end
of the month. In Renfrewshire, if a
mans house be burnt during the ware of
the moon tits unlucky, but if the moon
is waxing it is lucky. To have money,
particularly gold Or silver, in your pocket
at that time is a token of good fortune,
but to be without it is very bad omen.
In Orkney it is considered very unlucky
to fit or move from one place to another
during the waning of the moon. Old
people in some parts of Argyllshire are
wont to invoke the divine blessing on the
moon after the monthly change. The
Gaelic word for fortune is derived from
that denoting full moon, and marriage
or birth occurring at that period is be-
! lieved to augur prosperity.

A RUSSIAN TRICK.

A Cossack rode up to the door of a
little inn at Braile, dIsmounted. drank
succession of glasses of brandy, and
then made show of remounting his
horse. The landlord reminded him that
he had not paid for his drink. The
Cossack with heavy sigh, drew out his
dirty purse, and began fumbling for
coin, when his horse gave a sudden
snort and fell to the ground The
Cossack was in despair, he did every
thing he could to raise the beast upon
It's legs, but all was in vain. .'He is
deadl He is deadl' cried out in chorus
a number of bystanders, who had been
attracted to the spot by the accident
The crowd, knowing that a Cossack's
horse is his own property, and that the
loss Of the animal would strike
terrible blow to the owner, began 10
make collection, in order to mitigate
his sufferlngs as far as possible Even
the landlord was touched, forgot his
bill, and presented the bereaved man
with another glass of brandy, refusing
any pay. The Cossack lifted up his
saddle, slung his lance over his shoulder,
dropped farewell tear over the faithful
beast, and walked sorrowfully away,
When he was about one thousand PAGES
distant he suddenly stopped, turned
round and gave long shrill whistle.
At the sound of the we'll known signal,
the horse sprang up, Weighed a friendly
answer, and darted off with a lightning
speed to his grining owner. The Cossack
was soon on his back, making significant
symbols of thanks to the assembled crowd
for their generosity and sympathy. In
few minutes he was out of sight, and the
landlord of the krottchma was loudly
registering his vow that he never again
would trust Cossack.

THE ORIGIN OF CATTLE.

Prof. Boyd Dawkins, as the result of
his Investigations as to the origin Of
British breeds of cattle, believes the two
principal stocks from which all the
breeds are descended are undoubtedly %
the Urus, al animal wild i'll the forests of
Europe later than the days of Charles the
Great, and which is believed t. have
been extinct in the British Isles; CD the
Bos lonIfrons, or ''sInall Celtic Short
horn" an animal which never was abo-
rigiually wild in Europe. Both are prob
ably domestIcated IN Asia, and both
made their appearance together III the
Neollthic age, III the possession of those
who lived on the wooden platforms aud
artificial islands in the Swlsslakes. The
remains of the latter are, he says, to be
found all over Europe in heaps of refuse
belonging to various periods from the
Neolithic down to well within the hIstori
Cal period. It IS the only domestic OK
which be has met with in tue large mum
Der of refuse heaps in the British Isles,
ranging from the Neolithic age down to
the time of tie English invasion and is
represented by the present Highland
cattle, small Welsh and small Irish cat
tie.
The first, or the Urus stock, preserved
in Great Britain almost in its aboriginal
purity in the so called wild cattle Of Chill
lingham, he has been unable to trace
further back than the invasion of Britain
by the English, and of Ireland by the
Scandinavians. As the evidence stands,
it Was Unknown i'll these islands as a
domesticated animal before this time.
The present breeds are in the opinion
of Prof. Dawkins, descended from the
two stocks, and are the result of crossing
and selection. The polled cattle are con
sidered to be the result of selection, in
which advantage has been of a tendency
to revert TO al ancestral hornless type,
probably as far back as the Mlocene age.

Chicago Times: A good many railway

Chicago Times: A good many railway
managers have come to the conclusion
that it is practicable to heat passenger
coaches with steam from the locomotive.
This plan has been introduced on several
small railroads in the east, and is in
successful operation on the elevated
roads Of New York city. The expert
ment has proved so satisfactory that the
New York Central has ordered traid
to be fitted with the necessary apparatus,
and will probably adopt the system on
all its trains. Western railway officials
are investigating the subject with a good
deal of care, and appear to be quite con
fident that safe and adequate substitute
either steam heating or something else
can be found for the car stove. If the
recent railroad accidents, whose horrors
were multiplied ten fold by this inferna
engine of destruction, shall result in it
disappearance, the frightful sacrifice Of
life they involve will not have beer
in vain.

His Generosity.

Some time since the wife Of promi-
nent citizen of New York city was try
ing to instill in the mind of her 5-year-
old son what it meant to be generous,
thus:
Now, Willie dear, suppose mamma
should give you cake and tell you to
give part of it to Harry, and when you
divided it one piece was larger than
the other; if you gave it to him that
would be generous, but if you kept it
for yourself that would be selfish. Do
you understands"
The little fellow thought he did.
The next afternoon, wishing to test
the effect of her teaching, she gave
Willie large juicy orange, saying:
Now, Willie, take this orange and
divide it generously with Harry"
When to her surprise the child (who
was passionately fond of oranges) gave
it back to her, saying, with roguish
twinkle in his bonny blue eye:
Here, mamma, won't you please
give it to Harry and tell him to divide
it generously with me. Tile Judge.
